Thanks! Don't worry yours will budding in no time they grow up fast! With White Widow anywhere from 8-12 weeks I've heard. Hopefully more towards 8 because it was showing an indica dominate pheno during veg, but as its growing in flowering I'm seeing the sativa come out in it so probably longer. I'm going to buy a 60-100x magnifier around the time of harvest so I know I don't fuck up and pull it to early. I should be doing a pretty big update in the upcoming days the leaves aren't completely fixed, but I'm learning. A few went from 100% yellow with green veins to showing a decent amount of green again. Hopefully by the time of update I have it all sorted out and its healed.

I just noticed the rule about posting in grow journals. Please everyone feel free to post! I changed my nutes yesterday and started using cha ching so hopefully will see some more resin production!

Bro those nugs look fucking good!:bigjoint: I am completely jealous of your grow haha. Has the nute prob u had been completely fixed? I see your wasting no time with getting her prepped for more resin.

Thanks bro! I heard from another member the vertical growth of the plant stops around week 4 or 5 of flowering and the heavy resin/bud swelling begins. I figured it was a good time to switch to the cha-ching as that's what its meant to do. As far as the nutes I've learned alot but it's really just a trial and error type thing. It depends alot on the pheno type as well as the period of the plant (Flowering or Vegging). My suggestion is when you run into deficiency study them with a chart, learn the number on your fertilizers and what corrects them then go from there. Keep in mind this is only my first successful grow so I really don't know how to spot/fix everything yet. :wall: I'm trying to learn to make my next grow easier. By the looks of it your girls are taking off congratulations! You're doing great compared to the first few times I grew! Happy smoking bongsmilie

Usually the stretch will last about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep feeding with N during this part. Your girls will thank you for it! Beautiful ladies, CFL. :::subbed:::

I'll keep that in mind! Good to know I have a reliable source of information. I'm hoping I pull around the same weight as you did! Good luck with your new grow as well!

Thank you, boss. This next batch will have a considerably bigger yield. Last run was 12/12 from seed. If I would of added even just 2 weeks of veg, I could have pulled another ounce and half off those easy. I think you'll do better than I did. Great to see you at the new thread. Cheers.

Oh damn, then you did pretty nice for a 12/12 run! I'm not really sure how long I even kept mine in veg. FIM'ed her at week 2 then maybe 3 after that switched the timer. It's actually funny what this plants been through. It's been transferred from soil to hydro at a week one because my seed starter was killing shit idk why, then I nute burned the shit out of it in the 2nd week and topped it like a retard lmao, lastly broke 2 branches bad from lsting and tapped them back. Must have just got lucky with a good pheno it healed quick! I'm enjoying seedsman so far! Any strain suggestions for the upcoming project? Also it's been a little longer then a week since I've updated with some pics so I'll go do that. :fire:

Overall Plant Growth: (4x7FT Tent) - Sorry the pic isn't that good my cameras bad from far away. Big shot out to the easy co2 bag doing a great job and I have seen results.

looking great!
earlier you said you think you may have a deficiency(after you figured out the nitrogen problem)You might have been lacking something, but if your using the trio lineup you shouldn't, it could have been something locked out from when you burned it, it will lock out some nutrients when it has excess of another . this is why i recommend if you are low on N to give a leech (3x medium poured through ex: 3 gallon buckets get 9 gallons)
any damage done won't progress if fixed, but it won't heal either.

Thanks nizza! and yeah I figured it was lockout after the fact also when I read what was in the nute lineup. shes eating a gallon and a half a day on full strength!

My last WW run (Dinafem) took 53 days. Usually 60 days is recommended. Plus or minus a few days, of course, depending on how milky your trichs are. Personally I like to chop right when I start to see any amber trichs (when everything else is completely milky). Sort of a personal prefference, though. A few yellow leaves at the end of flower is nothing to worry about. Completely normal. Your girls are looking great, man. I'd rep you, but I need to spread some around first.

That's exactly when I would like to harvest! Want to make sure I get her at the peak, but don't want any THC degraded. I'm actually going tonight to pickup some of that boticare stuff you use. Hopefully it'll make her smell like a dead skunk, cause of right now the smell really isn't that bad. I've deffinitly seen alot or crystal and resin production since I started adding that cha-ching and co2 though. Would definitely recommend it to anyone, their stuffs not a gimmick. I have no clue what kind of yeild I'll pull I'm actually really excited to see what comes off it. Thanks for the rep pin worm back at you!

Hey everyone! I've done a decent amount of pruning over the last couple days, and I would definitely recommend it. Slowly I'm removing fan leaves to uncover underdeveloped bud underneath the plant canopy. There was a lot of extra growth I never discovered until removing the leaves. Exposing them to light definitely helped, even 3-4 days exposure showed obvious swelling to the buds. I believe this will add significant weight to my overall harvest. I plan to begin flushing for 14 days on the 5th of next month, and removing all fan leaves 7 days prior to harvest. (To end with a cleaner product and not have nutrients left in fan leaves.) This should give me 65 days of flowering. I will harvest after 3 days of darkness with mostly cloudy tricomes and a few amber. I plan to chop the plant and hang by the base stock with no individual nodes being cut and all sugar leaves intact. Using this method the plant should dry evenly in about 4-7 days in my humidity controlled environment, then be cured in jars for a week. I should have a very pure final product protecting my smell, and thus reducing my curing time. Not to mention she's starting to smell the a dead skunk! :bigjoint: Should be brining significant updates in the next coming weeks! Thank's to everyone helping and making this a successful/fun grow for me!

Happy halloween! Here's some new pics of growth and bud development! She seems to be swelling up nicely, and the calyxes are starting to go orange. Also the smell is getting very pungent even with the carbon filter running 24/7. I decided to purchase a couple jars of smell gel to open in the tents. It's definitely helped a lot but the smell is still there.

Thanks bro I'm gonna miss her to! It seems like it all went pretty quick. Not to long ago yours were just babies, and now their flowering as well. Congrats, you got further then I did my first time! White Widow from Seedsman is definitely a trooper strain. Huge shout out to them for good genetics! It suffered from nute burn week 2, had a timer brake and mess up my light cycle, next I almost killed her in transition to flowering with nutes mixed to strong, then I fimed, lst'ed with craft wire, and broke two nodes in the same day which I had to tape. In the end hopefully she still yields a decent amount, I'm hoping for a QP. Even the previously injured branches have fat buds on them. I think I'm a good two weeks until harvest, so she still has time to swell. I'll begin my flush in 3 days and flush for 12 , give her 3 days in the dark, then chop. As for the lolipoping or defoliating what ever you want to call it, it's purpose is to just have a cleaner end product so less curing time. Pulling bigger fan leaves not all at once, but over time as the flush starts will make it easier for the plant to dump its salts out from the stem and buds instead of pointless fan leaves that ill be throwing anyway.

Decided to start flushing tonight with RO water. Hopefully will be ready to harvest in a couple weeks!
